Tha fact that lw-grade corn waa meeting with only a limited Inquiry operated, too, aa a bearish factor. Any weakening from such Influences, however, were soon completely offset by a good demand which dryers maintained for all corn of desirable quality. Export salea thia week were estimated at S00.000 bushels. Some strength In the March delivery of oats reaulted from the purchase of 200. OO0 bushels of St. Louis for export.

SETBACKS DIE TO PBICK LIMITS Speculation Checked in Cereals and FVovi stons at Chicago. CHICAGO, Marfh 2. Sharp setbacks in values on 'ph-anuti here have resulted this week largely from the estaoiuiiliia of max imum price limits on every commodity that Is traded In. Outs and pork were affected most. Compared with a week ago, corn this morning waa unchanged to Mtyhic lower, oata off He to 3 S 4i and provisions down 2.c to $2. .5. Pesptte a general rush to let go of spec ulative holdings of oats, the corn market held relatively steady. The chief reason was that the new restrictions did not apply directly to corn any more than had been tha case for some time. Notwithstanding that receipts were the heaviest yet this sea son, the corn market gradually recovered from most of the beari-th influence of the sweeplna measures in regard to the exten p. on of maximum prices, especially after the fact- became apparent that export demand was a sal it a substantial force. Peace talk obtained only flitting notice. Liquidation of ., oats holdings reached big total. President Wilson's proclamation disapproving a higher guaranteed price on wheat led to considerable selling of oats and so, too, did bearish estimates of farm reserves. Most of ths decline in provisions was traceable to the setting of an all-around maximum price limit. SAX FRANCISCO PRODCCE MARKET. Price Current on Eggs, Vegetables. Fresh Fruit. Etc., at Bay City.

Suit was filed 'yesterday in the name of M. H. Gragir to restrain the city Council and the American LaFrance Fire Engine Company from consummat ine: a deal for the purchase of six auto mobile fire engines on the Installment tln. The complaint contends that the city can issue no evidence of indebtedness unless the money has been duly appro priated and is in the treasury to meet the obligation, in tne case oi tne lire machines, tne purcnase price was uo,- 500. whereas only $500. io was appro priated, this being the amount of the first Davment.
